Pallid Swift

Having arrived in Weymouth for a short break mid afternoon, I noticed that the Pallid Swift,that was found the previous day, was still present in Chesil Cove.  Having unloaded the car, I made my apologies and headed out across the causeway to Chesil Cove which is just to the west of Fortuneswell on the Isle of Portland.

I arrived about 4:00 pm and managed to find the Quiddles Cafe, which is where the bird had been seen.  There was no obvious sign but two people high on the cliff caught my eye, one of whom was taking flash photos!  I then saw the Swift flying back and forth fairly close to this person.  I moved closer but never got a good view due to the distance and the failing light.  Undoubtedly the Pallid Swift though.  I can only hope I can get a better view tomorrow, if it hangs around.

Pallid Swift  - Yes you can hardly see the bird but it is in the photo a bit above the pointed rock!  
4:15 pm on a dull day!
